Background And Aims: Balancing the risks for thromboembolism and postpolypectomy bleeding in patients requiring anticoagulation and antiplatelet agents is challenging. We investigated the incidence and risk factors for postpolypectomy bleeding on anticoagulation, including heparin bridge and other antithrombotic therapy.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort and case control study at 2 tertiary-care medical centers from 2004 to 2012.
